If you take the K3, open a page with lot of text, and click the menu button twice to bring it up and then make it go away, you'll see the book text in the area below the menu space is fainter than the rest of the page. Bringing up the menu does a partial refresh, of course. Perhaps it's the partial refresh to blame, and maybe full refreshes will show the K3 and K4 displays to be identical.
I will set it off once I update the firmware and see if I notice it is still lighter. I have decided if there is a noticeable difference I will keep it but cancel my KT order and go with a T1. I have a K3 to compare with that has really black text. Mine will be here tomorrow. It's at my local post office already.
